    Finally...GTM 422 finished?

    Another one hits the road. Took 6 years-8 months. I tried to keep it simple- no radio (couldn't hear it anyway), no fancy electronics, nothing exotic, just lots of glass work! LS6 with medium cam, some head work, and Mendeola trans.

    cheers, Jefffront.jpgfront 2.jpgside.jpgrear.jpgengine.jpgint.jpg

    Shane,
    Thanks for the kind words.
    Rear is not changed, as stock as it came out of the box. If you mean tires-335/30/r18's.

    Jeff,

    Looking very good. Nice and clean. I'm going to hazard a guess, that you are the first builder to incorporate a factory style headlight assembly ?

    Now is the time to enjoy the fruits of your labor, and post up some pic's of you enjoying the ride, to celebrate surviving the build.

    Thanks Ron, I don't think I'm first with the idea, but maybe first to execute the idea.
    Cheers, Jeff
